We the People of the Gun have debated constitutional carry vs. shall-issue for quite some time. The shall-issue debate breaks along the dividing line of a perfunctory NICS check vs. training/testing/qualification requirements. The debate is familiar so there’s no need to go over it again here.
But it’s dawned on me that this isn’t strictly a binary choice: constitutional carry vs. shall-issue. There might be other solutions that are worth considering.
Around the time of the founding (centuries before and decades later) there was a practice of a judge ordering a carrier to obtain a surety to guaranty his keeping the peace.
